Since you're using Linux: if you set your keyboard layout to `English
(international AltGr dead keys)`, your keyboard will behave like an
ordinary US keyboard, but you can use AltGr (right Alt) to get special
characters. Specifically, you can get

‘’ with AltGr + 9 and AltGr + 0
“” with AltGr + { and AltGr + }
«» with AltGr + [ and AltGr + ]

That might make the quotations easier to type, if you decide to input
them “literally” instead of \quotation{structurally}. The AltGr dead
keys keyboard is very nice in general, not least because it is
indistinguishable from a normal US keyboard under normal usage.

Cheers,
Sietse
